Owl mesurait 12,50m à l'origine. Construit en 1909, il fut rallongé pour gagner en vitesse dans les années 30. Acheté en 1990 par des propriétaires français, il a été restauré en 1995. Owl court régulièrement en Méditerranée. Son nouveau propriétaire est italien Gian Piero Grandi et Owl bénéficie d'une très belle coque blanche.
